After a decades-long career in the music industry, Michael Jackson has died, the Los Angeles Times and the Associated Press reported Thursday.

 

I was a bit old when he was in his prime with Thriller, but my Neices and Nephews couldn't get enough.

 

Rest In Peace, King of Pop

I loved Thriller. Such a shock

No matter how much junk people say about him but his music is a legacy to me. AND Im in my 20s

I bet iTunes will be getting a workout the next couple of days. Thriller was actually already on my own 'icons of the 80s' tunes. I can't say much for any other publicized part of his life, but the man could write and sing a dayum good song.

Thanks for that sky! I didn't even notice the headline of that blog.

Thriller was the first LP (yes actual vinyl) that my mom bought for my sister and I. I havent listened to that in ages. Now might be the time to through it in my mp3 player to reflect.

One of my favorite Jackson tunes was Man In The Mirror. Give it a listen:

I am just stunned with shock. Farrah (RIP) we expected, but not Michael Jackson.

His legacy as a dancer is unsurpassed. What moves the man had.

Broker will kill me for this:

I remember him trying to Moon Walk in 5th grade - then using the Bad album to 'scratch'. He was like most suburban white kids of the time. I'll have to dig up some old family movies!

A big shock.Prayers going out to his family.
